A 1 pint can with no canned on or best before date printed on it. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A hazy bright golden orange colour with a two finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly but left some lacing.
Aroma: Very tropical beginning and citrusy finish with lots of mango, peach, apricot, papaya, pineapple, grapefruit and pine.
Taste: Mango, peach, apricot, sweet mandarin orange, citrus pith and light pine with a touch of booze.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with low carbonation.
Overall: Very nice juiciness in both the aroma and taste. It would have been even better if it could completely hide the slight booze I got in the taste every now and then. But otherwise, it was great DIPA.

Really hazy golden color with off-white head. Aroma is really hoppy with juicy fruits like peach and overripe melon. Taste follows with juicy hops but also a bit astringent on the finish. Low bitterness, malt sweetness underneath. Medium body with low carbonation. Overall it's a quite nice DIPA with intense hop notes.

Mango, papaya, guava, passion fruit, citrus zest and grapefruit juice. Floral. Biscuit malt. Pithy bitterness. Medium bodied. Prickly carb. Nice amount of sweetness. Classic Finback yeast profile. Really good.

Nice double IPA that is light and drinkable and well blended. Very nice aromas come through that I wish followed through on the palate. Definitely seek this one out.
